Photolysis of C65NO36CHO #246

Closed RolfSander closed 3 weeks ago

RolfSander commented 6 months ago

For C65NO36CHO, the MCM contains two identical photolysis reactions with different rate constants (j-values):

https://mcm.york.ac.uk/MCM/species/C65NO36CHO

It is unclear to me which j-value is correct. Is one of them correct, and the other should be deleted? Or should the sum of both j-values be used?

Note that this issue has also been raised in the KPP repository (https://github.com/KineticPreProcessor/KPP/issues/80) because KPP produces as error when a mechanism contains duplicate reactions.

Hi @RolfSander - let me check this out with one of my colleagues and get back to you.

I think this issue can be closed. Even though the MCM still has two separate photolysis reactions for C65NO36CHO, the new KPP export function from @stulacy merges them into one reaction.

Great, thanks for clarifying @RolfSander
